Notes
The Port of Seattle responds to the Airport Communities Coalition’s emergency motion for injunctive relief in the Washington Supreme Court, requesting that the motion be denied so construction of Master Plan Update projects, including the Third Runway, can continue. The document provides background on the 401 certification issued by the Washington Department of Ecology under the Federal Clean Water Act and the subsequent appeals process through the Pollution Control Hearings Board. The Port argues that the 401 certification and 404 permit processes have been followed and affirmed at multiple levels.
